1 | Chapters and verses, how determined? | Bible general Archive 1 | janet | 17784 | ||
Can anyone please tell me who and how it was determined to make the divisions in the books of the Bible, more specifically, the chapters and the verses. I have seen divisions in the middle of sentences as well as chapters. I had a teen ask me this and I just did not know how to answer the question. Thank you very much for the wonderful help I have received from this forum not only in this question but in answers you have provided to other people which have helped me. | ||||||

Janet, The Bible was divided into chapters by Stephen Langton (who later became Archbishop of Canterbury) early in the 1200s. Robert Stephanus, a book printer from Paris, is credited with dividing those chapters into verses in 1551. The first complete printed Bible using the chapter and verse divisions was the Geneva Bible of 1560.
